[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 366521, member: 9240"] What I've found with HP sharpening is that it's very easy to overcook it, and hard to judge when you're in the Filter dialogue and wondering precisely what radius will be most effective for your image. I do not apply this until after resizing (and have pretty much given up on it in favor of Smart Sharpening for web images), but when I use it this is what I do... 1. Open the resized image in Photoshop 2. Duplicate the background layer 3. Set the Blend Mode on layer 1 to Overlay or Vibrant (the first if I want mild sharpening, the other if I want it really sharp). [INDENT]- This now looks like crap, but fear not... [/INDENT] 4. Zoom to 100% (cmd/cntrl-1) 5. Under the Filter -> Other menu, choose High Pass 6. Making sure Preview is checked, adjust the Radius until the proper effect is achieved. 7. Move the Opacity slider to 20% and then bring it back slowly until it looks [I]right[/I]. More times than not I stop around 80%. [/QUOTE]
